Changing aromatic properties through stacking: the face-to-face dimer of Ni(II) bis(pentafluorophenyl)norcorrole.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding constants have been calculated for Ni(II) bis(pentafluorophenyl)norcorrole and its face-to-face stacked dimer at the Hartree-Fock (HF), second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), complete-active-space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) levels as well as at density functional theory (DFT) levels using several functionals. The calculated
